May 15,2026 | Phoebe
If you’ve ever struggled to get deep flavor into meat without hours of waiting, vacuum marination changes everything. By removing air, the marinade penetrates faster and more evenly—turning a simple dinner into something restaurant-quality in a fraction of the time.
Today’s recipe is a simple yet incredibly flavorful garlic herb chicken thigh, made even better with vacuum marination using the Wevac CV12 Pro vacuum sealer.
🥩 Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Fresh rosemary (optional)
🧄 Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Mix well until fully blended and aromatic.
Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly, making sure every piece is well covered.
🔒 Step 2: Vacuum Marinate for Deeper Flavor
Transfer the chicken and marinade into a vacuum bag and seal it using a vacuum sealer.
This is where the real transformation happens. By removing air from the bag, the marinade is pushed deeper into the meat fibers, significantly improving flavor absorption in a much shorter time.
Using the Wevac CV12 Pro vacuum sealer, this step becomes especially smooth and convenient for everyday cooking. It features an Easy Cleaning System, designed to simplify post-cooking maintenance with:
- A removable tray for quick and easy cleaning
- A washable sealing bar to help maintain better hygiene over time

So even after handling marinades and raw meat, cleanup stays simple and hassle-free.
Let the chicken vacuum-marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
🔥 Step 3: Cook to Perfection
Cook the chicken using your preferred method:
- Pan-sear for crispy edges (6–7 minutes per side)
- Oven bake at 200°C (390°F) for 25–30 minutes
- Grill for a smoky, charred flavor
Make sure the chicken is golden and fully cooked through.
🍽 Step 4: Serve
Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light salad. The result is juicy, flavorful chicken with a noticeably deeper taste thanks to vacuum marination.
Vacuum cooking isn’t just about speed—it’s about unlocking a better way to cook. When tools fit naturally into your routine, cooking stops feeling like a task and becomes something you actually enjoy. The Wevac CV12 Pro is designed exactly with that in mind, combining strong sealing performance with an easy-to-clean design that makes everyday cooking feel simpler, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
